'There is a pristine classicism to Gregg Hurwitz's Orphan
X, which borrows from Robert Ludlum and superhero lore
to bring us Evan Smoak, adopted as a child by a shadowy figure
called Jack and trained to be an assassin as part of a secret US
government scheme. When the Orphan programme (as it is known) is
disbanded, Evan moves to California and devotes himself to good
works - taking out a slum-landlord paedophile cop, for example,
after his victim calls Evan's special number. However, his
meticulously compartmentalised life makes him vulnerable . . .
Orphan X is tight and tense in all the right places. But it
wouldn't work half as well if we didn't feel Evan's pain and share
his panic as the worst-case scenario unfolds: another former
Orphan, with a less noble agenda, seems to be hunting him. Orphan X
is weapons-grade thriller-writing from a modern master * Guardian
*
Pure nail-biting stay-up-all-night suspense -- Harlan CobenOrphan X is not good. Orphan X is great. Whatever you like
best in a thriller - action, plot, character, suspense -
Orphan X has it -- Simon ToyneMind blowing! A perfect mix of Jason Bourne and Jack Reacher
-- Lisa Gardner
Bond, Frodo, Paddington Bear - some of literature's greatest heroes
have been orphans. Add Orphan X's Evan Smoak to the list *
Shortlist *
In terms of plot, characters, suspense and innovation, Orphan X is
outstanding . . . I've always thought that one reason for Tom
Clancy's success was the endless detail he provided about
military hardware, and that the James Bond novels benefited
from the loving attention Ian Fleming devoted to the
martinis, expensive cars and gorgeous women he so admired.
Hurwitz outdoes both writers . . . Orphan X is a
smart, stylish, state-of-the-art thriller. It's also the start of a
series, one that might give Lee Child's Jack Reacher books a
run for their money * WASHINGTON POST *
Bestseller Hurwitz melds non-stop action and high-tech gadgetry
with an acute character study in this excellent series
opener . . . Evan Smoak is an electrifying character *
Publishers Weekly *A masterpiece of suspense and thrills . . . Turn off the
real world and dive into this amazing start to a new series
